THE PROPER MANNER.
A REASON WHY AMERICAN WOMEN
DISLIKE DOMESTIC SERVICE.

A Sense Of Humiliation That Is Entirely
Unn-cessary-For Every Omcisl Posi-
tion There Is An Ohcial Manner.
The Two Librarians.
In the very interesting letter written TO
The New York Nation there is one reason
given why American women do not like
domestic service" on which | should like
TO make remark. No of the answers
to this question, obtained from the mem
bers of the Philadelphia aWorkingwomen's
guild, is rs follows: Il know an educated
woman-a lady-who tried it as a sort of
upper huusemaid. The work was easy
and the pay good, and she never had a
harsh word, but they just seemed uncon-
scious of her existence. She said the gen
tlemen Of the house. father and son, would
come in and stand before her to have her
take their umbrellas or help them off with
their coats. sometimes without speaking
to her or even looking nj her. There was
something 50 humiliating about it that
she couldn't stand il, but went back to
slop shop sewing"
II seems TO me that this sense of hui
initiation was entirely unncCeSSarN-that
il came from misunderstanding of the
case: and that this misunderstanding Is
peculiarly frequent in women, and cannot
but seriously hamper them in the effort TO
make. rs men do, their own place in the
world. Ii does not matter how they are
irving to make it-whether as shop girls,
librarians, domestic servants, doctors or
dresSmakers; the mistake is equally fatal
in every kind Of work, and may he no
ticed just rs often i'll one as in another.
1t is simply this: The failure To recognize
that for every official position there is an
official manner. That is the very first
thing man learns when he enters on any
profession whatsoever; it is that which
preserves his dignity and Independence,
enables him 10 become proficient iii his
business and clears the ground for that
true friendship between him and his en-
ployer, which is founded on mutual re-
spect and gratitude. Take away this Of
fetal manner and you make life trouble
some and difficult for the employer indeed,
whether he be the shop girls customer,
the servants master or the doctors pa
tient: but You make il also thousand
times more troublesome and difficult, nay,
dangerous and intolerable, for the em-
ployed.

THINGS have come to pretty pass in In
diana when Gov. Gray feels obliged to call
upon the United States authorities to as
sist him in putting a stop to the depreda-
tons OF the band of marauders known as
the White Caps. These midnight visitors
who have established a reign of terror in a
number of the counties in that State, have
control of the local courts, so that nothing
can be done with them in this way. 1t is
claimed that the Federal statute designed
to suppress the Ku-Klux in the South will

has made mistake, we think. This is

abiding citizens in Indiana to put down
any disorder. York World.
Just what Gov. Gray has done to warrant
the comments of the World is not known
hereabouts, but we feel safe in saving Gov.
Gray has done nothing calculated to COM
promise the dignity of the State of which
he is Chief Magistrate, or to intimate that
Indiana is not amply able to arrest and
punish law-breakers within its urisdic-
ton. Manifestly, such statements as the
World publishes are well calculated to in
jure the reputation of Indiana abroad, and
we do not believe they are well founded.
Indiana is not in a condition to require
Federal aid to suppress "White Caps" in
any county in the State. 1t is asserted
that reports as published relating to the
marauding of the "White Caps" are large
ly Munchausenish. shamefully exagger-
ated, in numerous instances downright
lies; but enough, after all, is true to de-
mand the determination OF the gang. In
diana is equal to the emergency, and the
fact ought to be promptly demonstrated.

While those on woolens foot up s27, 27s.-
ST. In other words the manufacturers
cot nearly six dollars to the farmers one
dollar. Nor Is that either all or the worst.
Besides imposing tax of this magnitude
on the country for imported woolens,
there is the far greater indirect bat no less
burdensome bounty tax on domestic wool
en- goods through tine enhanced cost to the
consumers. The average rate of duty on
imported woolens is nearly 20 per
cent. ad yalorem. And as the con-
sumption OF domestic woolens is
no less than $500. 600, 600 per annum, these
goods, without the war tariff of 20 per
cent, were only worth sos, 600. 900, the
less to the consumer being $165, 200, 900.
The $41, 000, 900 worth of imported wooden
goods, with the $27, 900, 900 OF war tariff
added, cost the consumers $68 200, 900,
without counting the middleman's
the foreign value. Thus 1t appears in or
der to procure 81, 100000 of unnecessary
revenue on imported woolens, there is
added about $500, 900, 900 year to the cost
OF wooden clothing of the American peo-
pie. And this il called protection"
Those who cIamor loudest for dear
wooden goods and are the most blatant for
free whiskey, would do well to consult the
figures and see if a reduction of the tax on
WOODEN goods cannot be reduced fully one
hall, and still have sufficient protection
for manufacturers. That would not be free
trade, but it would be less taxation and
therefore q more honest trade-the con-
sumner would be required to pay less
tribute to the rich and would be able to
purchase wooden goods at lower rates. We
are satisfied that the people will compre.
bend the necessity of reducing the tax on
the prime essentials of life, until the sur
plus OF the Treasury disappears, and until
the most rigid economy becomes the pol
icy OF the Government. Indeed, such
economy is the policy of the Government;
and the tapping OFF of unnecessary ex-
peDSes, only increases the surplus while
unjust taxation prevails, and daily brings
into holder prominence the iniquities of
the present tariff.

WOOL.


The chief of the Bureau of Statistics, at
Washington has prepared and published
a special report, relating to the imports
and exports of wool and its manufactures
in the United States and the principal for.
eign countries, also its production, con-
sumtion and manufacture, tariff duties
imposed ETC.. The report is exhaustive
and of great value TO those who desire to
study the wool question. 1t is stated that
the total number of sheep in the United
States and Territories in 1856, was IS, 1872, 351
and in 1887, 44.759. 3l4, being decrease in
one year, of 3 565 OIL, but if period of
twelve years is considered, it is shown
that the number of sheep has increased
l0975 81 or SO per cent. since 1915. Re-
ferring to the quantities Of wool produced
in the United States and territories, the
report says the production in 1880 was
30. coo, coo pounds, valued at 500, go, 5S7.
In 1880 there was imported 12S, l3i, 747
pounds OF wool, valued at ST., 913, GG6,
making a total of 36s, 131, 747 pounds of
dom estic and imported wool, valued at
Sl0S, 144 2O3. The total manufactures Of
wool in 1880 amounted to $267. 252, 013. The
tax on the wool imported in 1880 was, say
~ cents a pound-this tax per pound was
added to the domestic production, and
necessarily increased its cost for manufac-
turing purposes about 81 800, 900. The
imports of wooden manufactures In 1880
was $31 ,S345 47, upon which a tax was
LEVIED of $2l, 1854. 153, about 20 per cent,
and this 20 per cent. was added to the
value OF the home manufactures, not for
the benefit of the wool growers, because
they were protected by the tax on wool,
but for the benefit Of the manufacturer
who employ ed, in 1880, IS 1903 hands. The
figures OF the report show that in 1880,
the value of domestic and foreign woods
amounted TO sos ia, 205; the amount OF
wages that year paid to HANDS was ST. ,3S9,
Os7; total value of wool and amount paid
for wages, S155, 533, 300. The value of the
product was $685., 252, 9l3, showing a bal.
ance in favor of the manufacturers OF
Sill, ,623. The total capital invested in
wooden manufactures, in 1880. was $780,
O91. 500; allowing 20 per cent. on the cap
ital invested, s., sis, 1913, there would still
be a remainder of SO, sO1, $50 to be di-
yided among the monopolists, the benefi-
Charles of a robber tariff. Referring to
still later figures, showing the outrages
perpetrsted on the people by the present
Republican tariff, the Chicago Tribune, in
recent issue, says:
Last year the tariff receipts from the
duties on wool amounted TO S.. 126. iQ8.

DAYTON, Ohio, October 3O.-Gene7al Pat

made in Dayton The surgeon of the in-
stitutioIs reports that the small number
treated for alcoholism this year was four

the less number OF soldiers who are given
to protracted debauches and bad liquor"
Since the opening of the beer hall not

at the guard-ho1se or hospital after spree

never been as good as now, nor have the
